OYRUS IV. SALADEE, OF NEWARK, OHIO.

IIVIPROVEIVI ENT IN WATERLDRAWERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,079, dated October 23, 1866.

To all whom t vmay concern:

of Newark, county of Licking, State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Constructing Water-Drawers; and l do hereby declare that the following is a full' and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the peculiar arrangement of holding and tipping the bucket hereinafterdescribed.

In the drawings, Figure lis a side elevation of the water-drawer complete. Fig. 2 is also a side elevation, showing the bucket turned up into the position to empty the water. Fig.

3 is a top view of the frame of the drawer, showing the revolving yoke A A l in position to receive the bucket from below. Fig. 4 is a top view of the bucket, showing the -arrangement of bail I use in connect-ion with the bucket and yoke. Fig. 5 is a side elevar tion of the bucket, showing the manner of connecting the bail k thereto, also the cone O secured to the top of the bail, and the groove N in the cone, by which the bucket is held in the yoke. y

The object I have had in View in this invention is to produce a Water-drawer that shall be convenient in its operation, more simple in its construction, and consequently7 less liable to get out of repair, than many of the water drawers or elevators now in use. The curbframe, friction-roller H, and windlass F, Fig. l, are substantially the same now in general use. In Fig. 3 is shown the yoke by which I receive, hold, and tip the bucket. The diameter of the yoke A is equivalent to the diameter of the top ofthe bucket B. Across the center is the shaft A l, Fig. 3, cast solid to the ring A, and the ends of which form the bearings or journals I I, on which the yoke vibrates or revolves. To the front of the ring ofthe yoke A is cast solid the flange or spout O. In the center of the yoke A A l, I fo'rm the.hole S, large enough to receive the end of the cone O on the bail of the bucket; and in connection with this hole S, I apply the catch or spring P, which is so arranged as to lock into the groove N of the cone, Fig. 5. On

E the end of the yoke I secure the lever D Bc it known that I, OYRUS W. SALADEE,

or its equivalent, rigidly, and on the outside o'f thecurb, and by which the yoke is operated. This substantially completes that part ot' my improvement connected to the curbframe.

And now for the bucket and its connections. I use the common iron-boundbucket, and to which I secure the bail peculiarly adapted to the yoke, and is, in fact, a part thereof to the end specified. This bail consists of four arms, K K K K, Fig. 4t, the outer ends of which turn down and forni the shoulders O 1, through which latter Vis passed a screw or bolt, firmly holding it against the inside of the bucket. At the' center of the arms K, I form the cone-shaped stud O, (see Fig. 5,) around the outside of which I turn 'the groove N. The distance from the lower edge of this groove to the top surface of the arms K is equivalent to the thickness of the-bar A l'of the yoke at S, Fig. 3, so that the groove shall register with the catch P when the bucket is in position on the under side of the yoke. Through the center of the cone O, I pass the holevX, Fig. 4, of such dimensions as to receive the end of the rope J, which passes through and is secured, by a knot in the rope. or otherwise, on the under side of the bail. The rope 'also passes through the hole S of the yoke.

The operation of my drawer is substantially as follows, viz: We will suppose the bucket B in position on the under side of the yoke, as shown in Fig. l. With the right hand the handle T of the windlass F is taken hold of, and with the left hand the catch or spring P (seen in Fig. 3) is pushed back out of the groove N, (see Fig. 5,) when the bucket is released from the yoke, and by turning the Wind lass F backward the bucket descends into the well. When filled it is drawn up, and, by reason of the rope passing through the hole S in the center of the yoke, the cone O is drawn up into it, when the bucket is caught and held in its position by the catch I locking into the groove N, as shown. The windlass is now let go of. The contents of the bucket, or any required proportion of it, is emptied by grasping the lever D and giving it a forward and downward pressure, when the bucket is turned up in the position sliown'in Fig. 2 and the Water poured out, as represented by the blue shading.

The front of the curb may be provided with the ordinary spout E 3 but this is really unnecessary, as, by having a small shelf` at a proper distance from the ground built up, the bucket to receive the water may be set thereon and receive the Water directly from the spout G of the vibrating yoke A A l.

I have not as yet shown the advantage of the four arms K K K K incombination with the cone O, Fig. 4, which I will here explain. The bucket being,I suspended upon a rope, it will not always come up aga-inst the under side of the yoke in the same position. Now, as the whole strain 'of raising the bucket up in the position shown in Fig.2 must be sustained by the bail of the bucket or its equivalent, it must needs be braced by an extra set of arms placed at right. angles from the single arm usually passing over the center of the bucket. But with the fourarms, as here shown, no matter in what position the bucket rests up against the under side of the yoke, I have a direct brace in the bail to sustain the strain upon it when in the act of raising` the bucket up in the position to discharge the water, as seen in Fig. 2. Y

Having thus fully described the object and nature of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The yoke A A 1, constructed and operating,` in the manner and for the purpose snbl stantially as shown and described.

,2. The iiange or spout G, in combination with the yoke A A 1, substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.

3. Operating the yoke A A 1 and bucket B by means of the lever D, or its equivalent, as and for the purpose herein set forth.

4. Holding the bucket B in position against the under side of the yoke by means of the spring or catch P, or its equivalent, in combination with the groove N, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as shown and described.

5. Arms K K K K, forming u1@ bnn of the bucket, in' combination with the cone N and yoke A A 1, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as shown and described.
